Yes I know I’ve been kind of obsessed with celebrity workouts lately, but I’ve been trying to get back on the fitness track myself, and a Google search on workouts always seems to point to the ones that famous people do.

My husband and I used to watch ALIAS religiously. We loved every crazy storyline, adored Marshall and hated Sloane (and felt kind of eh about Vaughn, but I digress). Most of all, we loved watching Jennifer Garner kicking ass.

Which is why I was so pleased to read this article, published two years ago, which details what Jen’s workout was when she was preparing for Elektra:

The signature move: Reverse lunges with a medicine ball to work legs, glutes and abs. Holding a 4-pound medicine ball in front of her, Garner would take a large step back with her left leg while bringing the ball down to her right hip. After eight repetitions, she switched to the other side.

The article also describes that a typical breakfast for our girl was:

an egg-white omelet chock-full of vegetables, with a single serving of fruit — ideally blueberries.

Hmm. Not too exciting, but if it’ll guarantee me a body like Jen, why not?
